Get close to nature
Stroll or bike the easy 1.5-mile trail through the wooded lowlands of Prairie Island for a glimpse at the hawks, eagles, deer and migrating birds that call these backwaters home.
Picnic on the beach
An easy bike ride from the heart of downtown Winona, Prairie Island Park is the perfect getaway for an afternoon picnic. Pack some sandwiches and dine at the beach on the calm backwaters of the Mississippi River where you can watch eagles fish for their lunch in the Lock and Dam 5A spillway.
Fido’s favorite frolic
Acres of lush forestland surround Prairie Island Dog Park and give dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs. Nestled along the banks of the Mississippi River, the dog park offers a safe play environment for both owner and Fido.
Plenty of things for kids
Just on the outskirts of downtown, Prairie Island Park is the perfect spot for your next adventure. A playground and unparalleled view of a favorite eagle fishing spot on the river are sure to keep your kiddos entertained for hours.
Adventure under the stars
With more than 200 camping sites, Prairie Island Campground offers visitors with more opportunities than they know what to do with. Boating, mini golfing, frolicking in the river – the outdoor possibilities are endless.
